I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
I'm in a cowboy band
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
she's true, like ice, like fire
time is running backwards
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.; Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
